There are more and more farmers joining the army of FarmVille every day. No one can get enough of this game and there are plenty of reasons why. In FarmVille, you can escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Just chill out, sow some seeds, harvest some crops – not a bad way to spend an evening. And as you do this, you’ll naturally advance in levels over time.
There may come a time, though, when you want to achieve a bit more in the game. Every time you move up a level, you unlock new seeds, decorations, and other discretionary items. This means that in order to gain the most out of your FarmVille experience, you’ll have to advance fast to unlock as many items and bonuses as possible.
The Basics
But how do you do this? There are a few details to keep in mind if you want to progress quickly in FarmVille. You probably already know that in order to level up, you need to accumulate experience points. For example, each parcel of land you plow gets you one experience point. In the early stages of game play, the number of experience points you get by plowing land and planting crops is plenty to allow you to advance at a reasonable pace. Once you get through the initial stages though, you start to need more and more experience points to level up.
Concentrate on Experience
When you want to earn experience points fast in FarmVille, you have to supplement what you gain from your normal harvests with other activities. Improving your farm is a great way to earn some quick chunks of experience points. Buildings return the most, but you can get experience from putting up just about any decoration or structure. You just have to pay close attention to the amounts of experience points each item will deliver.
You should also take experience points into consideration when deciding which crops to plant. Crops that take less than a day to grow only yield 1 experience point, while crops that take longer yield 2. That doesn’t mean you only want to sow crops that offer 2 experience points however. If you can make it back to harvest them the minute they’re ready, crops like strawberries will get you more than 2 experience points a day because you can pick them every 4 hours.
You have to be on top of your harvesting and planting cycles in order to make progress this way though. Erecting buildings on your farm is still the best way to get big gains in your experience fast. Save up your money for those, and you’ll be well on your way to unlocking all of the available items in FarmVille.
